The appeal of meat for men is partly the connotation with being the brave hunter bringing down prey. Except, stop me if I'm wrong, no one eats apex predators.

❝One of the most ignorant but common arguments i keep hearing from carnists is the “canines though” argument.

As a dentist, it blows my mind that people think our canines are proof that we should eat meat. When in fact, NOTHING about our dentition, or our whole physiology for that matter, is adapted for flesh eating.

Our canines are short and blunt. I would love to see a human being catch an animal with his/her canines and claws and rip through their hide or clench onto their jugular, until they’re dead. Then start to dig into their flesh and feast on their insides.

Our canines can bite into fruits or root vegetables like carrots or beets. That’s the pretty much the extent of our canines’ normal biting capacity.

Our jaws move side to side like other natural herbivores and frugivores. We have large molars to chew leafy greens. Our mouths have small openings. […]❞
